The County Ground experience has been in the news a bit lately, hasn’t it. And not often for the right reasons.

Be it slippery steps, peeping Tom CCTV, cobwebs on seats, lengthy queues, the wrong type of paint or leaky loos, 2024/25 has highlighted just how tired, weathered and weary Swindon Town’s stadium really is.

Club management and fans are united in the opinion that a trip to watch Swindon play has lost much of its charm, and that the facilities on offer bear a large responsibility for that.
